Carrying a rucksack is perquisite to being military?


No I did not serve in Afghanistan. Did you serve under constant threat of nuclear attack? Don't recall seeing you in the Sinai or Beruit.

Two tours UN Peacekeeping Missions. Beruit and Sinai. Took mortar and small arms fire. The exposure to asbestos while paroling bombed out Beruit has taken at least two of the people I served with and could very well be the end of me some day in the foreseeable future.


Seven years Navy Reserve retired as a Lieutenant Commander. No naval action in the 90s of course. Directly participated in three hazardous at sea rescues and two body retrieval missions.


I am in no way undermining your service history but simply CAN NOT STAND a feeling of entitlement because of it. We choose to serve and if the public wishes to show appreciation for that then wonderful. I do not expect nor demand special treatment though.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR!!!
I was in an IED blast myself and my back and lower disks are done. I ask for free parking because vets like myself benefit from it
I dont feel entitlement for anything besides free parking...

And that is commendable and good work.
The RCR Coolaid is strong with you though. The infantry is NOT the only working or hazardous arm of the military. You knew the job when you took it.
Does not give you the right to spew off racist crap because you feel you should be exempt from tickets.

Entitlement? I think any veteran who served in a battle deserves free parking, i think its stupid how they havent made that a thing yet.
Parking enforcement in toronto are mostly all **** heads looking to give the most possible tickets at the end of day. Doesnt matter if your a vet or a firefighter... they will do anything to fuck you... jdm_import does have a point I dont blame him for lashing out.... stupid non english speaking immigrants taking all our jobs and they cant even speak english lmao

Some people would actually say that and mean it. That's the messed up part. That level of bigotry should be joke, but it's real these days.

Well you need to do a better job at the joking part then!


It is free parking. What can it possibly save you a year? Pretty sure the vet plates are losing all meaning anyway. I see dozens a day. There can not possibly be that many Canadian COMBAT vets around. When any 18 year old that has never left mommy's basement but is currently serving in the Reserves are eligible they become meaningless. They need to tighten up the criteria if they want to start giving benefits for having them. Not necessarily a combat requirement (only 10% actually see direct combat) but at least a time/mission perquisite.

There are some things that should be taken seriously.

I'll give the guy a break Im sure at the end of the day hes probably not racist lol... probably had a bad experience with parking enforcement and turned out to be a guy who barely spoke english lol. Lord knows what this guy is dealing with, PTSD. Lashing out, nightmares? Bad days, good days... touchie subjects to get into anyway.
Im a veteran myself and I do not feel any sense of entitlement. I have no probems with multiculturalism and diversity, in fact our country and freedoms are built upon that. Isnt that what we fight for

I understand that maybe he has some severe psychological issues, but his childish outbursts should not come at the expense of someone else, especially not a minority. People with this language need to be shut down immediately, regardless of ones background or military service.
